Drive the perimeter of electric tracks on PCB

Hello there, 

 

I do have a question for you guys. 

 

For my job, I have to design a PCB on INVENTOR. On this PCB, I have several electric tracks to design. Each track has a designated point of start, and a designated point of end. Those points are blocked.

 

To make sure those tracks are impedance matched, I have to ensure that they have the same total length. Hence, I have to find the best geometry with those constraints. Is there a way to find the best solution on INVENTOR?

 

I tried to do it with the tool "spline" but it wasn't possible to equalize (drive?) the perimeter of those splines... 

 

Thanks for the help, have a nice day!

Why aren't you doing this design in a proper PCB design/layout package?.. They have these tools built in..

Inventor is not the tool at all to do trace layout in...

Only the mechanical size/component clearance,etc...

Hello,T

 

Thanks for answering.

 

To be honest, that's not my call. We don't have much softwares here, and I have to use INVENTOR for the geometrical side. 

Besides, it doesn't actually matter if it's a PCB or not. My issue is not directly related to PCB. I just want to know if INVENTOR is able to satisfy this kind of issue. 

 

Is there a way to drive a spline by its total length? I have 4 splines to trace, they must have the same total length. The only degree of freedom that I have is the path those splines will take, from a point A to a point B...
